Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

After finding out that I was having episodes of SVT, I was referred to Dr. Bender. After a thorough consultation, it was recommended that I have an EP study with ablation. Dr. Bender answered all of my questions and calmed my fears about this procedure. I knew I was in good hands. He takes his time with you and that to me is an invaluable quality. The day of the ablation, from start to finish, Dr. Bender was nothing but AMAZING. Extremely knowledgeable, confident, caring and considerate. I would recommend him time and time again. Truly a remarkable doctor with the bedside manner of an angel. I cannot thank Dr. Bender enough.

Dr Bender is very thorough and attentive. He explains procedures and answers all questions. I recently had an emergency Cardiac Ablation for A-Fib and he made me feel so much calmer. He recognized my anxiety and was comforting and answered all my questions. Post procedure office visit was just as professional. He is truly a caring doctor.

I had an unknown cardiac issue & was shocked to find myself a small community hospital facing a cardiac procedure.I was adamant I didn't want it done there.I met Dr. Bender for a consult & he was amazing,immediately put me at ease & made me feel safe & that I was going to be ok once procedure was done.I'm an RN, he put me at such ease I didn't even research him before agreeing to procedure,he understood my concerns and transferred me. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.
